Canada Goose Nesting Platforms

The local Rod and Gun clubs along with Ducks Unlimited established these platforms many years ago as a way to help nesting geese from having their eggs flooded from rising waters. In fact one of CWSP members The Golden District Rod and Gun Club maintain over 100 of these goose nesting platforms for over 20 years. Now with goose numbers up there is discussion around removing or replacing these structures.
